'28 one ton seat question

lou mccarrell · 2026-02-08T21:42:21Z

was there a seat back originally? If so, was it just the width of the seat, or did it stretch the length of the cab width? how was it constructed? and finally, anyone have a seat of said truck that they can live w/o, preferably just the basic frame, I will redo the seat. I really do not care about condition as long as the basic frame is not too badly mangled. the cheaper the gooder! thanks, Lou

There were other body builders too. Martin Parry (who later was bought by GM and renamed to Body By Fisher) was one. Another company in the business was Springfield. Here are a few scans from a couple of Chevy truck catalogs that I have, The 1927 is original and the 1928 is a reprint. The one ton truck was a centerfold in each booklet. 😉
